2021 George Ryder Stakes Review: What The Jockeys Said

5 years ago - Sportingbase

Think it over stamped himself as a star of the future when taking out the George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill yesterday.

Glen Boss (Think It Over – Winner):

“I really have a soft spot for this horse. I got on him over 12 months ago and I said to Kerry ‘just keep sticking with this horse and go about your business. There’s something about this horse and I think he’s going to be a really good horse for you.”

“This preparation he’s has come back a lot better horse, more in his mind. He goes to the barriers now very calm, he’s in control of everything he’s doing now.”

James McDonald (Dreamforce – 2nd)

“Disappointing to lose by that margin. Tried his guts out.”

Nash Rawiller (Avilius – 3rd)

“Super run. Hit the line really well. If the track was heavy he wins.”

Rachel King (Cascadian – 4th):

“Massive run. Will only improve from it.”

Jason Collett (Gem Song – 5th)

“Just a bit keen from the mid-section. Loomed but just told late.”

Josh Parr (Samadoubt – 6th)

“Great run from him. He’s close to being back to his best.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Dalasan – 7th)

“Good run. We just got momentum lost when we hit a flat spot and I got him up and going when he had no room so he ran well.”

Tommy Berry (Funstar – 8th)

“The race wasn’t run to suit. They went very quick early which had her off the bit and then they pulled up mid-race then sprinted home quick. Her run was credible.”
